Terrell Owens In Tears Over Finances

oldmanTED · Sep 7, 2011

Tuesday night, we shared the story of Terrell Owens advising DeSean Jackson to sit out until the Eagles give him more money. Springing forth Wednesday is that T.O.'s "get all the money you can" message could be grounded in some personal issues he's facing.

Here's a snippet of T.O. explaining his problems.
"Football season is on a standstill, so I have no income at this point. None. On top of that, you're talking about the mortgage of all the real estate that I do have. And on top of that, child support."
I'm not a financial expert or a TV producer, but shouldn't VH1 be giving you a little bit of money for doing that television show? You're not crying on television for free, are you? If you're going to be exploited, make sure there's at least a check coming.
Best of luck to the guy.

No wonder these guys go broke after they leave the NFL. They need to learn money management.

These guys are a joke. I doubt ill make even 10% of what some of these stupid athletes make in my entire lifetime. I don't feel sorry for any of these idiots, as a matter of fact I find it rather entertaining to watch anybody live beyond their means, I don't care if its a millionaire or a school teacher. It always catches up to them eventually

Damn, those mortgages and child support payments don't stop when there is no football season? And your 1yr-contract ends after one year, too? ...
Jesus, who could have seen this coming...

If you are a multi-millionaire and have a mortgage you are a fucking idiot.

I agree 100%. That is just dumb.

He prob has a 30 year note with an FHA loan, lol

:cryingcry I actually feel pretty bad for him.....pretty rough life he has and now with real life bills and obligations.....

i think its the right thing to do if we would perhaps start a fundraiser or some kind of donation program here at the Rx...I mean we are all so much better off than he is at the moment...its only right we give back

Paypal or cash is fine...i will have it all set up in the morning

TO could be doing another Canseco when he's done playing

No sympathy for these clowns. Get the feeling that his sob story just doesn't resonate with the average joe putting in overtime (if they have a job) just to afford tickets.

If this was on some reality show he's on, it probably was written into the script. If he was doing an actual interview, then he is a stupid jackass. Well, he is a stupid jackass anyway, but he might not be a poor stupid jackass.

I wonder if he's collecting unemployment?

should be good for about $ 300 per week

when can an NFL vet start collecting pension benefits? I'm thinking it's probably a younger age after so many years of service (damn, their bodies are all screwed up)

As of June 2006, players are to receive $250 a month for each season played before 1982, $255 a month for each season played between 1982 through 1992, $265 for 1993 and 1994, $315 for 1995 and 1996, $365 for 1997 and $470 per month for each season played between 1998 and today.

So a current player who retired after six seasons would get a monthly check for $2,820 in retirement.

Players begin receiving their pension at the age of 45 if they retired before 1993. After 1993, they can receive it at age 55.

The collective bargaining agreement says a player who "incurs a substantial injury that is a significant factor in causing his retirement from football'' is entitled to 100 percent of his monthly pension payment - and at least $1,000 per month - for 7 1/2 years. But critics have said it is difficult to qualify for disability payments.

Should the Chicago Bears Sign Terrell Owens
Published: 14 hours ago

RANT It!
This is what one might call a beating a dead horse piece, but I thought I would throw my hat in the ring on this Terrell Owens conversation. At 37 years old and on a*surgically*repaired knee, he realizes that he has a few remaining moments on a very talented and controversial career. While no one has ever questioned Owens’ talent, many have questioned his attitude and affects on a football team.

Let’s face it, the Chicago Bears do not really have a good wide receiver. While everyone wants to love Dane Sanzenbacher, he’s hardly what I would call a difference maker. Devin Hester and Johnny Knox have some speed, but neither is consistent in route-running or difference making. Roy Williams seems really slow to me, but has shown some signs of life recently. Sam Hurd is a special teams guy. The wild card in all of this is Earl Bennett, but he’s been absent for some time now. Supposedly he’ll be back after the bye-week, but who knows what will happen with a guy that has missed a lot of time plus a shortened training camp.

I’ve been going back-and-forth on this all evening, and the more I think about it, the more I think the Chicago Bears should sign T.O. I hate him, but at 4-3 and trying to make a push towards the playoffs, he may be just what the doctor ordered. Not only does Owens want to prove he can still play this game, but he also may want to end his career being remembered on a high note. If he comes to Chicago and makes a difference while being a great teammate and teacher to the younger receivers, he can save his image and go out on a high note. Owens isn’t asking for top money, and if you get even 80% of his best, it seems better than what is currently on the roster. Plus, if he doesn’t work out immediately, the Bears can release him with little lost.
